What happens when your coaches are Mark Gottfried and Jim Harrick

Jim Harrick was fired from Georgia for pretty much the same thing that went on at UNC for 20+ years. Except Harrick and Georgia were doing it on a much smaller and evidently, more punishable level.
IIRC, UGA had a basketball class that had questions on the final exam that read:
How many points are a basket worth?
How many points are free throws worth?
True story.
